Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Robert Voorhees:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercises to help prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after an illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Voorhees will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point for creating a completely personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Voorhees can perform a functional movement screen to identify muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns that may lead to injury. A personalized exercise program can then be created to correct these issues, proactively preventing future problems.

What is 'manual therapy'?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by physical therapists to address pain and improve movement. It includes techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization, which help restore joint motion and address muscle tightness. This approach can reduce pain, improve movement, and prepare the body for further rehabilitation exercises.

What is the goal of a home exercise program?

Dr. Voorhees' home exercise program is a personalized set of exercises designed to help you continue progress between sessions and prevent the problem from returning after therapy is complete. It's the most important part of your recovery, empowering you to actively participate in your own healing.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, a physical therapist like Dr. Voorhees can help. Many physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation and can treat common causes of dizziness, such as BPPV, with specific head maneuvers. They can also improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Dr. Voorhees' pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. They can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence.
